Issue 4. They read single-byte characters only. The
standard does not define any error conditions. This im-
plementation returns ERR if the window pointer is null, or
- if the lower-level <STRONG>wgetch</STRONG> call returns an ERR.
+ if the lower-level <STRONG><A HREF="curs_getch.3x.html">wgetch(3x)</A></STRONG> call returns an ERR.
SVr3 and early SVr4 curses implementations did not reject
function keys; the SVr4.0 documentation claimed that "spe-
cial keys" (such as function keys, "home" key, "clear"
key, <EM>etc</EM>.) are "interpreted", without giving details. It
- lied. In fact, the `character' value appended to the
+ lied. In fact, the "character" value appended to the
string by those implementations was predictable but not
useful (being, in fact, the low-order eight bits of the
key's KEY_ value).
